Bulgaria Protests 2013

Thousands of Bulgarians have been protesting in Bulgaria's capital, Sofia, demanding that the Socialist-led coalition step-down after losing credibility by naming lawmaker Delyan Peevski to head the security service. The appointment, which went through without debate, has angered the public, catalyzing demonstrations against the country's three-week old government. Following protests, Bulgaria's parliament dismissed Peevski in an attempt to quell the protests.
